The 30-day plan ($15.00) is the most practical starting tier. It costs only $2.50 more than the 2-day pass, provides 25 GB/day, and gives you ample time to evaluate routing performance with your local internet connection.

Download throughput depends on physical distance to Nitroflare’s data centers, international ISP peering routes, peak network hours, and your local router/Wi-Fi connection.
